RIMOWA: MY DREAM LUGGAGE

I read about it from a feature from a national newspaper years ago and I thought this is what I would get when I decide to change my luggage.

But, at the time I did, Greenbelt was too far and so I did not get a Rimowa then.

I was in Makati Greenbelt 5 last month and at last, I saw the Rimowa store.

I was thinking of getting a luggage enough for 20 kgs. and here it is right in front of me!

The store had the signature Rimowa groove design which is quite eye-catching.

Here are some of the attractive Rimowa luggages.

Why Rimowa?

Rimowa is a German brand of luggage and these are some of the features that I read about Rimowa.

Rimowa Luggage - Handwerk meets Hightech'

Rimowa ranks among the leading manufacturers of luggage in Europe. Handwerk meets Hightech (Handcraft Meets High Tech) policy which has lead to huge successes and double figures in rates of growth altogether throughout many countries around the world. The Rimowa luggage collection with its Made in Germany label has not only won over showrooms among its partners, such as Lufthansa and Porsche, but also the Luxury Goods segments. Rimowa is currently developing the signature of a young global brand whose impressive road to success on an international level is still in the beginning stages.

The direction is clear: to be the first choice worldwide among all people who place special demands on traveling. Demands on quality, function, and design of their Rimowa luggage, and more importantly, demands on an authentic vacation experience. In such a way that the new advertising slogan, Every Case Tells a Story proves true over and over again. And that each Rimowa is exactly what they inherited as design: to be perhaps one of the most gripping travel companions of the world.

I chose the Rimowa Bolero design which is shiny black in color, with the signature grooves and its polycarbonate design did not seem to be prone to scratches.

The functional form of the Rimowa Bolero caught my eye since this has separate front pockets which can be opened separately.

Rimowa's Bolero collection advances Rimowa's signature grooved polycarbonate design by combining the polycarbonate exterior with flexible outside pockets made of hard-wearing polyester. The classic Rimowa polycarbonate grooves in a striking black are extremely durable and lightweight and the interiors include useful accessories such as dividers and laundry bags.

RIMOWA’s “Bolero” line of luggage is a take on the polycarbonate shell luggage which works visually. The best feature is of course the ability of the shell to take a hit and return to place – any dents can be knocked back out without damage to the luggage itself. “t offers a more fully featured upgrade from the Rimowa Salsa collection to make traveling even more enjoyable. The feature that sets this series apart from the others is the useful pockets on the front. The telescopic handle has an aluminum finish and the top and side carrying handles are recessed and very comfortable.”

The feature that sets this series apart from the others is the useful pocket on the front that lets you access important items without opening the case. The interiors are designed with your needs in mind. The telescopic handle has an aluminum finish and it locks at different heights. The top carrying handles are very comfortable.
